I really like webcomics, namely Penny Arcade. I don't have anything better to do with my life, so how about myself and a few other artistically inclined members collaborate on one for the site?

We can discuss the details in the event that Psy and the admins OK it and other people actually want to be involved. Mostly, I'm neglecting to post details because I don't really know what to say at the moment, I suck at proposals.

The polls are here so I can determine if this is something I should even bother with.

First of all I used to draw stuff all the time and my old school friends told me they kept my drawings just in case I ever became a famous cartoonist. Secondly, I can't use a computer which is obviously evident.

Oh. Okay.

Disabled? Wheelchair? Did I say that?

Kind of.

I'm mostly a writer, so the shipping and creation of the illustrations will need to be discussed once we actually have a team to work on the art.

I'm debating whether it would be entirely comedic or semi-serious, but I guess a GTA-like crime comic would make the most sense.

I briefly considered having cartoon representations of random members making snarky comments about GTA news and other games, but in one of my usual moments of self-loathing I decided that it would just be a GTA-oriented Penny Arcade ripoff, so I scrapped it.

Well, I want to set this up so that anyone who wants to help will have something to do, meaning that there will be work for writing, penciling, inking, coloring, lettering, etc. just like a regular comic book, but if enough people want to be involved, we'll have to alternate those jobs from comic to comic so everyone can have some input.

Regardless of how many people are on board for this, everyone will have a vote in how the storyline for the comic progresses and what type of art style we use (cartoony, realistic, whatever). I want this to be site-wide and something that every member can be proud of and have a part in, not just two or three people.

No and No.

Comic books are gay in my opinion. Even gayer than Giant gay robots.

Unless I get a Cameo in it! biggrin.gif

That had better be a joke.

I'm almost positive I'm the best artist on the forums (who's consistently active, at any rate). I'll do some art, but if you want fancy shit you'd better be ready with a good photoshopper. Give me some material, I'll do some boards and then after we polish it I can try and pitch it to Pyro. I'd rather not waste any points with him over nothing.

The reason is that when heartless says something stupid, he really means it and believes it.

“They refer to me as an uneducated barbarian. Yes, we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians, it is an honored title to us. We shall rejuvenate the world. This world is near its end.”

If we do do one, it will have to be clear on what it is. I actually made the stupid decision of voting before reading, but now ive read the topic I think its a good idea. I would like to help, as long as im not doing anything related to art.

I was hoping you'd be in, I like your art style.

Well, hopefully Dup wants a part in this, too.

I imagine you'd be on idea duty like most of the others. I'm thinking a roundtable discussion of characters and plot points, with one or two people taking the official role of writer (me being one of them) and organizing everything into a script.

It should be something that everyone can relate too, not just people from the forums.

I don't know how else to word this, but are you good at anything, Q? I know you're on the podcast, but it would probably be me running the comic, so it's not like you'd have anything daunting to do. I just don't know what it is you could do.

I'm also a half way decent writer, so I can help there too. But I'm not good at starting ideas. Give me some time, I'll post some basic comics I'm working on for my own personal pleasure so you can feel my style better.
